This morning in the rain and wind---not what I was hoping for but up popped an eastern meadow lark onto the fence and then in to the grassy field. Hundreds and hundreds of grackles, redwings, a few killdeer and a lone roughlegged hawk hovering.Fun time of the year!! Jeannie Williams If anything is excellent or praiseworthy---think about such things. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
